Topic: OldRaven's IGUS build (Read 6174 times)

This is a story about my IGUS Zoltar.. my 3rd Zoltar machine.It started with the classic xl back in 2003, see the Classic thread on the forum for pictures there.

First an image of how I'm using the IGUS right now.

Future plans are..

-lowering the t-nuts.. and/or making an in height ajustable work bed.. since I use this thing for 3d Milling and can use all the height I can get.-adding a rotation axis.. just because we want too! -Add premanent suction to the spindle.. to minimize dust while milling.

So, I'm going to sort the building pictures and start my thread here..

All parts are interlocking.. like the new 2011.The Bridge parts form a sort of box contruction, making it very ridgid!

The side plates

Slide together nicely.

Both sides

You hook the side panel in, and rotate them in position.Then secure them with a couple of imbus bolts.Really easy construction.. and again.. this all aligns itself automaticly and makes for a real ridgid construction.
